The Sync Framework Toolkit extends the Sync Framework capabilities for building offline applications, making it easier to expose data for synchronization to applications running on any client platform. Sync
Framework 2.1 required clients to be based on Windows. This toolkit allows other Microsoft platforms to be used for offline clients such as Silverlight, Windows Phone 7, and Windows Mobile; in addition, non-Microsoft platforms such as iPhone, Android, and
Blackberry can be utilized as well as HTML.
The Sync Framework Toolkit provides all the features enabled by the
Sync Framework 4.0 October 2010 CTP. We are releasing the toolkit as source code samples on MSDN with the source code utilizing
Sync Framework 2.1. Source code provides the flexibility to customize or extend the capabilities we have provided to suit your specific requirements. The client-side source code in the package is released under the
Apache 2.0 license and the server-side source code under the
MS-LPL license.
The toolkit is available for download on MSDN at:
http://code.msdn.microsoft.com/Sync-Framework-Toolkit-4dc10f0e. After you extract files from the package, you will see a Visual Studio solution in the SRC folder that let you build the toolkit on your computer.
We will keep the
forum used for Sync Framework V4 CTP available for community discussion and community support.
